Implementing Healthy Schoolyards for Los Angeles Unified

The Council for Watershed Health will collaborate with the Los Angeles Unified School District to transform three school sites into green schoolyards through the removal of 21,600 square feet of concrete and asphalt, the planting of 90 #15 trees and 1,320 native plants, and the installation of natural play areas, outdoor classrooms, and irrigation systems. The project, forecasted under the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, is located in Los Angeles, California, and qualifies for a Class 4 Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act due to its minor land alterations and negligible environmental impact. Implementation is fully focused on enhancing ecological and educational spaces within school grounds without significant disruption to surrounding resources. The procuring agency is CAL FIRE, with administrative oversight from its Sacramento headquarters, and the primary point of contact is Walter Passmore. Despite the detailed scope of work and environmental compliance framework, the contract remains in a forecast stage with no identified contract number, pricing, period of performance, invoicing method, or detailed administration personnel such as a contracting officer or contracting officer’s representative. No FAR clauses, evaluation factors, representations, certifications, packaging requirements, or special conditions are present in the documentation, and there is no provision for payment details, accounting codes, or submission instructions beyond the project description and environmental exemption status.
